A simple and general dealloying method is employed to fabricate nanoporous Au/Pt alloys with pre-determined alloy compositions. Structural characterization by electron microscopes demonstrates that selective etching of Cu from Au/Pt/Cu alloy precursors results in the formation of three-dimensional bicontinuous porous…
We report our findings on cellular membrane penetration, endocytosis, endosomal leakage, and nuclear translocation of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs). Our data is consistent with a working model for MWCNTs' cell uptake and cellular translocations.
Natural materials are hierarchically structured nanocomposites. A bottom-up multiscale approach to model the mechanical response of the chitin-based mineralized cuticle material of Homarus americanus is presented, by combining quantum-mechanical ab initio calculations with hierarchical homogenization. The simulations…
We demonstrate a photochemical reaction between graphene and benzoyl peroxide. This reaction introduces spatially localized defects into the graphene basal plane. The reactivity of the single-layer graphene is approximately 14 times higher than that of the double-layer graphene. Our result suggests that photoexcited g…
Preseparated, semiconductive enriched carbon nanotubes hold great potential for thin-film transistors and display applications due to their high mobility, high percentage of semiconductive nanotubes, and room-temperature processing compatibility. Here in this paper, we report our progress on wafer-scale processing of…
The nonlinear in-plane elastic properties of graphene are calculated using density-functional theory. A thermodynamically rigorous continuum description of the elastic response is formulated by expanding the elastic strain energy density in a Taylor series in strain truncated after the fifth-order term. Upon accountin…
The effect of the additive Ce on V 2 O 5 -WO 3 /TiO 2 with low vanadium loadings for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x with NH 3 was investigated. The catalytic activity of 0.1% V 2 O 5 -6% WO 3 /TiO 2 (V 0.1 W 6 Ti) was greatly enhanced by the addition of 10 wt % of Ce in the broad temperature range of…
We investigate the optoelectronic response of a graphene single-bilayer interface junction using photocurrent (PC) microscopy. We measure the polarity and amplitude of the PC while varying the Fermi level by tuning a gate voltage. These measurements show that the generation of PC is by a photothermoelectric effect. Th…
The low-temperature dynamics of ultraviscous liquids hold the key to understanding the nature of glass transition and relaxation phenomena, including the potential existence of an ideal thermodynamic glass transition. Unfortunately, existing viscosity models, such as the Vogel-Fulcher-Tammann (VFT) and Avramov-Milchev…
Carbon nanotube sponges are synthesized by chemical vapor deposition, in which nanotubes are self-assembled into a three-dimensionally interconnected framework. The sponges are very light, highly porous, hydrophobic in pristine form, and can be elastically and reversibly deformed into any shape. The sponges can float…
Blue photoluminescene (PL) from chemically derived graphene oxide has been observed. The PL is attributed to radiative recombination of electron–hole pairs in isolated “molecular” sp2 domains, which are present within the carbon–oxygen sp3 matrix in chemically derived graphene oxide. The PL intensity is correlated to…
Because sunlight is diffuse and intermittent, substantial use of solar energy to meet humanity's needs will probably require energy storage in dense, transportable media via chemical bonds. Practical, cost effective technologies for conversion of sunlight directly into useful fuels do not currently exist, and will req…
Abstract CuPc thin films were grown on the hydrogenated vicinal Si(111) surfaces by organic molecular beam deposition (OMBD). Spectroscopic ellipsometry was employed to determine the refractive index ( n ) and extinction coefficient ( k ). Furthermore, the ratio of the out‐of‐plane to the in‐plane absorption intensity…
We have determined quantitatively third-order anharmonic phonon coupling matrix elements in vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) grown ZnO nanowires, via an analysis of the Raman line shape of the E2high phonon mode. The results suggest that the decay of the E2high phonon into the sum of two acoustic phonons is suppressed in VLS-…
A multichannel carbon nanotube field-effect transistor (MC-CNTFET) with compound channel layer has been built. In this MC-CNTFET, a dispersedly directed array of long single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is used as primary channel layer and a randomly aligned monolayer network of short SWCNTs acts as secondary set…
The paper presents the anticorrosion characteristics of a novel Ni/Ti 2 N composite coating applied through electrodeposition and cathodic arc physical vapour deposition for protection of sintered NdFeB permanent magnets that are susceptible to corrosion in active environments. The composite coating was evaluated in s…
The time, yield and related genes expression of PHB accumulation of Acidiphilium cryptum DX1-1 were investigated under four different initial C/N ratios 1.2, 2.4, 7.5, and 24. The results of time and yield of PHB accumulation show that the initial C/N ratio 2.4 was optimum for strain DX1-1 to accumulate PHB, both high…
Light emitting field effect transistors based on narrow layers of silicon nanocrystals (NCs) in the gate oxide were fabricated. Direct quantum mechanical electron and hole tunneling into NCs was achieved by self-alignment of NCs-interface-distances to ∼2 nm. The direct tunneling reduces oxide degradation, prolongs dev…
Abstract Top gated graphene field effect transistors with AlN and Si 3 N 4 gate insulator materials were fabricated by plasma assisted deposition. Transistors with an AlN top gate insulator showed a reduced mobility and channel carrier density, whereas for the transistors with Si 3 N 4 dielectric an increase of the mo…
Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of different ZnO nanostructures were studied using a combined nonequilibrium Green’s function and density functional theory techniques with the two-probe model. It was found that I-V characteristics of ZnO nanostructures depend strongly on their geometry. For wurtzite ZnO nanowire…
